English Language Learners are welcome in the French as a Second Language (FSL) Programs offered in UCDSB schools. FSL programs are for all students.

"Research on the participation of English language learners in FSL programs is clear: English language learners do as well as, or outperform, English-speaking students in FSL. All students stand to make significant cognitive, social, and academic gains through participation in FSL programs". (Page 8, Welcoming English Language Learners Into FSL Programs 2016)
